She is precious...enjoy this feeling...it NEVER gets old! ")
They aren't kidding when they say good things come to those who wait. She is OMG pretty! Trust me, I don't say kids are cute for no reason and Sophia is cute!
As a Dad to a little girl, my only man advice to Riz would be:
- Enjoy every moment of it, even the waiting because it will seem like time flies when you look back.
- You can never take to many pictures
- Get a shotgun because boys are the enemy!
Layla and I are thrilled and excited for the both of you. Congratulations!!!!!
What a smile!!!
Congratulations!

Hi. My name is Janet and we were in Wanzai, Jiangxhi in December adopting our daughter.
We visited the orphanage and I think I have a photo of your daughter!
If you would like it, I'll send it to you. My email address is jyounger@shaw.ca
I saw your blog on Rumour Queen and I haven't visited the site for several months. What a coincidence...
She is very beautiful-just like all the others in our group. Best of luck in your journey to China and when you return home. (That's when the fun begins!!)
She is so sweet. You make a wonderful family. go get that sweet baby girl
Susan and Riz,
I left you a message about 15 minutes prior to our call, again she is just lovely...Can you believe it we won't have our picture until Monday...another glorious day...
